Now, I love D-Generation X as much as anyone. The whole "we've got two words for ya," and the crotch chop have become a staple of WWE's Monday night programming.

But there's going to come a time soon when WWE needs to split DX -- take Shawn Michaels and Triple H and put them on opposite sides. It's a feud that if teased over time would sell tickets.

The obvious would be to turn Triple H into the heel. Been there, done that. With sledgehammer in hand, Triple H is devious, a guy fans once loved to hate.

But while it's riskier, I would turn Michaels into the heel. It's a turn WWE has teased in recent times, but never followed through on. To kickstart a feud between the two, maybe a former DX member could be brought in. How about Sean Waltman (X-Pac)?

Now that's a Crazy Train

What a sight ... Chris Masters flexing and popping his muscles in sync with Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train on RAW. If WWE wants to keep Masters around as a modern-day Paul Orndorff, he needs a more meaningful role.

Invented MMA?

The Wrestling Globe newsletter is reporting Verne Gagne's son Greg claimed in a radio interview he and his dad invented mixed martial arts, pitching the concept during a 1992 U.S. wrestling conference. Gagne says Randy Couture and Chuck Liddell were in the audience and took the idea to Dana White. Huh?
